Adithya Kumaran, a business tycoon from Chennai, threatened the ruling party ministers to expose classified evidence that could cost their political careers. To save their careers, the ministers decided to hire a professional thief, Veerarjunan (Veera), to steal the evidence from Adithya. The evidence was silently roaring in a highly customised locker inside Adithya’s private jet. Veera, an experienced thief and skilled in martial arts, formed a team with a fellow thief, a techie and also a pilot who joined them in the series of events. Were Veera and his team able to break into the locker and pull off the heist successfully? Was the whistleblower silenced or did he blow up the political career of the ministers?

How Lenin’s regime turned Russia’s priceless cultural patrimony into armored cars, trains, planes, and machine guns Historians have never resolved a central mystery of the Russian Revolution: How did the Bolsheviks, despite facing a world of enemies and leaving nothing but economic ruin in their path, manage to stay in power through five long years of civil war? In this penetrating book, Sean McMeekin draws on previously undiscovered materials from the Soviet Ministry of Finance and other European and American archives to expose some of the darkest secrets of Russia’s early days of communism. Building on one archival revelation after another, the author reveals how the Bolsheviks financed their aggression through astonishingly extensive thievery. Their looting included everything from the cash savings of private citizens to gold, silver, diamonds, jewelry, icons, antiques, and artwork. By tracking illicit Soviet financial transactions across Europe, McMeekin shows how Lenin’s regime accomplished history’s greatest heist between 1917 and 1922 and turned centuries of accumulated wealth into the sinews of class war. McMeekin also names names, introducing for the first time the compliant bankers, lawyers, and middlemen who, for a price, helped the Bolsheviks launder their loot, impoverish Russia, and impose their brutal will on millions.

In 2023, Reuel Khoza unsealed a letter to the future, which he had written in 1999 when he was chair of Eskom, at the time recognised as the best power utility in the world. It was an optimistic letter, expressing hopes that have since been dashed by corruption and maladministration – by a failure of ethical leadership. Khoza has written about leadership before – considering the importance of intelligence, emotional intelligence and social awareness. Now he broadens his focus to explore the role of spirituality – a ‘faith quotient’ – in transformational leadership. The Spirit of Leadership is about faith in humanity and, above all, faith in God. It is about being an African and a Christian, and a strong believer in the virtues of ubuntu, Africa’s philosophy of humanness. It is about ancestral wisdom and modern leadership. It is about progress through ethical behaviour and good governance in business. Finally, it is about innovations of the spirit that are needed to save South Africa – and indeed the world – from a spiral of despair. This is a vital and timely book for a country that needs to rediscover its moral compass.
Predatory subjugation based on economic status is nothing new in the annals of history. From the beginning of time, the greatest discriminatory factor of one person or group of people over another has been based on material wealth. In ancient and not-so-ancient times, there was nothing subtle about the wealthy ruling supreme. In many societies, the class structure is clear with little chance of upward mobility. Capitalism arose out of medieval Europe, and as it evolved, it appeared to hold hope for a more economically just world. Even at the time of the American Revolution, capitalism appeared to be a liberating force for the new nation. This book, the first of three, focuses on how capitalism and the Industrial Revolution unleashed a predatory force that swung the pendulum of economic justice in a direction contrary to a nation of, for, and by the people. While this book is historical fiction, the events and impact of such events are real. Social justice cannot exist without economic justice. A people can not enjoy the fruits of freedom and liberty without the economic wherewithal to do so. For all the good intentions of this great nation, the wealthy have been allowed to pervert the entire notion of equality. In this book, you will discover how wealth was used to control and manipulate people in power, as well as the general public. At the turn of the twentieth century, the great heist began in earnest. And while capitalism and the free enterprise system appear worthy of a great nation and people, it is through the corrupt underbelly that the wealthy rule supreme. If you like history, you will like this book. If you like intrigue, you will like this book. This book is intended to enlighten and entertain.
This book analyzes recent artistic and activist projects in order to conceptualize the new roles and goals of a critical theory and practice of art and photography. Vered Maimon argues that current artistic and activist practices are no longer concerned with the “politics of representation” and the critique of the spectacle, but with a “politics of rights” and the performative formation of shared yet highly contested public domains. The book thus offers a critical framework in which to rethink the artistic, the activist, and the political under globalization. The primary focus is on the ways contemporary artists and activists examine political citizenship as a paradox where subjects are struggling to acquire rights whose formulation rests on attributes they allegedly don't have; while the universal political validity of these rights presupposes precisely the abstraction of every form of difference, rights for all. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, contemporary art, photography theory, visual culture, cultural studies, critical theory, political theory, human rights, and activism.
On 24 May 1971, based on a telephone call purportedly from Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and her secretary P.N. Haksar, the chief cashier at the Parliament Street branch of the State Bank of India handed over Rs 60 lakh to a stranger posing as the PM's courier. The money was supposedly meant for secret operations in East Pakistan. When the chief cashier approached the PMO for a receipt, he was told that neither Haksar nor the PM had given any such instructions. He had been duped. Within a few hours, the Delhi Police recovered the cash and caught the man responsible for the heist, a former army captain-Rustom Sohrab Nagarwala. Subsequent events-which included a botched police investigation, bungling by the lower judiciary, mysterious deaths of the accused and the principal investigator, and Indira Gandhi's inexplicable silence-led to the rise of several conspiracy theories. Based on police records, press reports, depositions before the Justice Jaganmohan Reddy Commission and its report, The Scam That Shook a Nation is the first authoritative work on the scam, its investigation and its afterlife as a study in political corruption.
